| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Orange-gold color with a big spicy-honey-sugary citrus aroma that is quite inviting. Flavor is a bit spicy with some heavy citrus, sugar, and remnants of what was likely a hoppy beer. Decent, likely much better than it was young. riversideAK (2734), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Bright orange amber pour. A little head, not much. The aroma is minty and spicy with hints of orange, cinnamon, juniper, pumpkin spice. Kind of smells like an after shave. Lots of spice in the flavor. Some orange, but the most dominant aspect of this beer is the spices and the alcohol. Just plain odd and interesting. Thanks Ben! SuzyGreenberg (1368), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 30, 2008 22 oz. bottle - thanks to springslicker for the trade; pours clear, dark amber with slight head; fruity aromas of mints, cloves and licorice; low carbonation; flavors on the spicy side, a little tart and almost like fruit juice; a little hot with some pumpkin, vegi spice; a little on the odd side WeeHeavySD (2990), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Bomber bonused from hopdog. Shared with my girlfriend who loves Weyerbacher and Pennsylvania. Pours orange/red with a thin head. Nose is sweet and spiced. Taste is syrupy sweet and boozy. Boozy even after 3 years. This is interesting, but I can’t say if its great or not, I haven’t had this before to compare. Its at this point like a syrupy potent warming sipper. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 25, 2008 Thanks to SuzyGreenberg. Mint and clove aroma mix with roatsed malt in the taste. Minimal sweetness and a nice hit of alcohol that isn’t overwhelming at all. Strong bitterness to finish. Lots of spice/mint make this very interesting. Ibrew2or3 (2761), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2008 This 2005 vintage brew is courtesy of SuzyGreenberg. Pours orange to copper with slight haze and thin white head. It has a pungent aroma of roses, sweet cherries, sweet red apples, raisins, pepper and finishing with some heat. The taste is much the same with biting fruity sweetness up front from cherries and sugar coated apple wedges. It then bleeds into rose pedals, molasses and caramel. Wow, there is a lot going on here. It is both bold and smooth at the same time. Very nice stuff. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2008 Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt, spicy, some dark fruit. Tastes of juniper, lots of spruce, spicey, a plethora of clove. Finishes sweet and spicy. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 4, 2008 From a 12oz Bottle. Pours a hazy, caramel colored pour with a faint glimpse of off-white head. This has to be the most over-spiced beers I have ever tried, all homebrews included. The aroma abounds with peppermint, clove, menthol, cinnimon, and paint thinner, none of it pleasant and all of it overdone. Medium full bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel with a cloying sweetness. Not drinkable. Very alcoholic. Over spiced. Mint, pepper, and Vicks vapor rub. Lots of ginger in the finish. I could sit here all day and pick out specific spice sensations, but why bother, none of them are enjoyable. Alcohol presence is very pronounced. Overall, this tastes like a vodka spice potion.
